TABLE OF CONTENTS A rational approach to loss prevention must be based on an understanding of the nature of incidents and of the types of loss that actually occur. Therefore, in this chapter, first the nature of the incident process is considered and then the incident and loss statistics are reviewed to give an indication of the problem. Selected references on incident and loss experience are given in Table 2.1. In addition, many other tables of data are given in other chapters. Cross-references to some of these tables are given in Table 2.2.
